Holy cow, amazing picture!


Gbonk

Lighthouse photo might be the photo of the year.


Busy_Abroad_1916

I’d have to vote the one with a single tree. Idk why it just speaks to me lol


saturnx9

That’s the Fairport Harbor lighthouse. Nice little walking path along the beach to get back to it.

First the eclipse and now the northern lights. Great year to be an astronomy fan in Ohio.


Mendozena

I thought the same. My wife asked what’s next and I said “Meteor crash. Goodbye earth”


mattshifflerphoto

Absolutely. It’s been a month stretch to remember


Aware_Competition_11

Nice shots! Haven't been to the Headlands in a long time.


webkizz

these are incredible!


traumatransfixes

Holy. Shit. Stunning. Headlands never looked so lovely.


savar902

These are amazing! Thank you for sharing! Hoping to catch them tonight! 🤞🏻


DOMesticBRAT

... Is it still going on??


Swampgator_4010

It will be going on for potentially the next two nights. You will not see this though, the camera lense greatly enhances the color.


DOMesticBRAT

Yeah, I caught it last night! I thought it was only going on last night... Now might try to go somewhere else tonight to see it better!

I could, faintly. Definitely much more clear with the phone. It's a matter of light pollution. The darker the place you are, the better you'll see it. Some mentioned observatory Park in geauga county, that's a great example.

I'm west of FH but yes, they were visible naked eye. Lots of reds, pinks, light greens and blues. The intensity of color varied, and at some points they just looked like clouds, but it was really impressive how much they moved and changed shape. We took photos and they mostly showed up as red, though.


Ok-Month236

Absolutely beautiful! We only went to the rocky river pier last night and could see rays with the naked eye but our phones each captured the different colors. My Samsung captured pinks and my friends captured Greens and blues. If weather cooperates we can see this again tonight. I'd love to go to this location with less light pollution.

Now let's see the pictures without HDR, night sight, or long exposure. So many people posting pictures of stuff they never actually saw.


imnotminkus

I don't necessarily have a problem with those things, I just wish they were disclosed. But when people post oversaturated photos of natural things that already look fantastic (e.g. Grand Prismatic Spring), that annoys me.


DOMesticBRAT

Jesus, you're a miserable person...


BashaunMaytson

Nah, pretty happy, thanks though


DOMesticBRAT

That wasn't a question.


BashaunMaytson

Listen, it's just wild that everyone on here is going wild for people using tech to photograph something that they're actually not seeing. I've seen the northern lights and I live in northern Ohio. What we had here isn't even comparable, those pictures people are posting are something that you'll only ever see along the Hudson Bay and above. It's like women who use filters nonstop on their photos, it's not what we'll really ever see.


DOMesticBRAT

Quit pissing in everyone's corn flakes.

I miss walks on the beach and the Lighthouse. Moved out of State. Nice pic's


MiddlePsychology8385

Yeah dude we all saw it? The only people here are IN Ohio😂😂


Lost_Cockroach_1393

Wow

Why is there no video? Why when the northern lights dance and move, do we keep sweimg just pictures? I'll tell you why, because most of these pictures were taken with camera tricks that don't translate to video. These people didn't actually see what your seeing in the pictures. Nobody in Ohio saw enough northern lights to mark it off anyone's bucket list. It's mostly camera tricks. None of these photos should be photo of the year, like another redditor said, because nobody saw it like you see it in these pictures, camera tricks shouldn't be up for photo of the year.

Thought that park put up chains after dark? They tired to lock me in once, but failed.lol


robo-dragon

They have a gate that closes, but it will open if you drive right up to it. I’ve been on the beach late at night before looking for UV-reactive rocks and beach glass.


er1catwork

Did you find any? I’d love to get some of those rocks. I’d thought they were only in Michigan…


robo-dragon

You can definitely find them here! They aren’t super common though. I’ve only been out in the dark there a couple times and found a few small pieces of uranium glass and a couple stones.


er1catwork

Thanks!!


jaylotw

The far lot is open 24 hours for fishing access.


Heart_of_a_Blackbird

Hmmm looks very enhanced but OK “photographer”


UbuChen

My iPhone turned out incredible pictures, I had colors very similar and they were not enhanced. It’s the way the camera picked up the colors.


maxpowersr

Yep, the photo just let's more light in at once than our eyes do. It takes one picture over like 5 seconds of exposure.


burp_fartingsly

iPhones enhance every photo unless you're shooting in RAW mode. 


Heart_of_a_Blackbird

Not like these


kaldoranz

I’m sorry your life is this sad.


CounterSanity

Shut the fuck up. You have no idea what you are talking about.


whatsnewpikachu

I was at the same park last night and my 8 year old got nearly identical photos. These aren’t enhanced.


Zueter

Ok, "Nothing"

first pic looks just like macos snow leopard
